I seem to have gotten as far as many writers, as my boot-up messages below demonstrate. The remaining problem is, I believe, how to remove the "read only " protection built into the bundled jazz disk. [How to handle other issues is well documented]. The linux people have their own tool that does this, and other aspects of installation, called jaZip. see http://www.scripps.edu/~jsmith/jazip/jaZip-FAQ.html Who has a solution for FreeBSD? I saw a reference to a "jazcntrl" authored by Dirk.vanGulik@jrc.it (I've written him), which was apparently in freebsd/incoming about one year ago. Anyone know where to find it?
